A draft UN Security Council resolution aimed at opening the Strait of Hormuz is being revised to secure support from Russia and China. The resolution demands that Iran cease attacks and mining in the strait, requiring disclosure of mine locations and support for a humanitarian corridor. Led by the United States and allied nations, this revised resolution is narrower than a previous failed attempt, aiming to address concerns raised by China and Russia.
